Global warming

[Blueberry]

I was wondering.
Does the amount of polluted tiles on the map affect overall global warming?
The reason I am asking is if I should bother cleaning up five vulcano erupted
tiles which is outside any of my city radii.


By the way, something funny happened to me playing the celts.
I have Democracy and have been planning to go to war against the vikings for a while. The very round before I was going to declare war, (and not keen on changing to Fascism yet) the vikings demanded a tech from me. Of course I don't give a tech for free to a lesser military power. So he declared war on me instead. Yippi!

No, polluted tiles are an effect of pollution and global warming is an effect of pollution (amount of yellow pollution triangles in cities + effects of nuclear blasts and bombs), too.Polluted squares doesn't have an effect on GW.
The volcanic lava looks like normal pollution and has the same effect(no ressources to harvest), but volcanic erruptions have no effect on GW - they doesn't count as polluting events.

That WOULD be ironic if volcanic eruptions ADDED to global warming, seeing as large volcanic eruptions actully cool the globe.

Yes but if that was true then the world would be turned into water before the civ nations emerged since the vulcano's were first and blew alot of dust into the air.

Also I think that vulcano's should give +2 food instead of nothing. Vulcano's are very fertile to plant food on

The land around Volcanos... Not the Volcanos themselves and the immediate area although perhaps the tile does represent a much wider area which would include enough fertile land...

According to the demographic screen every tile represents 100 square miles, so it would be an area of 10*10 miles.
